FEMA maps place 940 Albert Ave in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 5 flood claims nearby since 1999.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective January 2, 2009 · OpenFEMA NFIP redacted claims and policies, as of September 2026

Values are read at the parcel center point; flood claims are located to the census block group, not this parcel; lenders make the official flood determination.

Wildfire

The area around 940 Albert Ave has no burnable land within ember reach, so its wildfire risk is not rated.

Source: USDA Forest Service Wildfire Risk to Communities (2nd edition), as of 2024

Values cover an area roughly 900 ft across, not the parcel itself; insurers use their own ratings.
